Illegal Migration Bill

Lord Hope of Craighead moved amendment 158A, in clause 56, page 58, line 37, to leave out from “tribunal” to the end of line 3 on page 59 and insert “may grant relief only on the basis that the decision—(a) was wrong in law, or(b) proceeded on information about the person’s age which was incomplete, misleading or otherwise so seriously misinformed that no reasonable decision-maker would have relied on it.”The House divided:

The party breakdowns are our own analysis of the official voting records (recorded votes only; they do not describe the formal whip). How we work this out.

Peers attend divisions ad hoc, so there is no did-not-vote list. Tellers are counted in the Content and Not Content totals, unlike in the Commons.

Tellers: Lord Hampton (Content), Lord Hope of Craighead (Content), The Earl of Courtown (Not Content), Baroness Williams of Trafford (Not Content).
